Db                      E
Is it the pain of the drinking

        Ab                Db   Dbsus4  Db
or the suddenly sinking feeling

F                Gb
the  car never seems to work

D                                        E
when its late your girlfriends on a date

                                C
and the hero with her in your dreams and your sleep

seems like you

D                             D Dsus4 D
turn around and ask yourself

D                             D Dsus4
turn around and ask yourself


Bbm   Eb   Db           B
manchild, will you ever win

Bbm   Eb   B                       Db
manchild, look at the state you're in

Db                  E        Ab                  Db   Dbsus4  Db
could you go undercover and sell your brand new lover   could you

F              Gb
   be someone else for a night

D
maybe someone else will love you

E                                 C
you'd sell your soul for a tacky song


like the ones you hear on the radio


D                             D Dsus D
turnaround and ask yourself

D                           D Dsus
turnaround and ask yourself


Bbm   Eb Db            B
manchild will you ever win

Bbm   Eb  B                       Db
manchild look at the state you're in

Bbm   Eb  Db                 B
manchild, he won't make you cry

Bbm   Eb  Bbm  Eb  Bbm
manchild, manchild manchild


Ebm
from Monday down to Friday
                                   Bbm
you're working on a another man's car

Ebm                                                  Bbm
or is it in the factory, it doesn't matter where you are


[scratch a wound string with your pick ;) ]


[rap1]

just turn around and ask yourself does this communication

accentuate the positive to give some illustration

say manchild, you're no-one, I turn the microphone on

control communication when I'm kicking it and so on

to the point where I need    air that I breathe

and to annoy the instance, waiting and ecstatic to receive

for the meantime, another mirror

I keep on saying it, I know what the time is and the crowd will

keep on playing,

through these beat boxes, loud's my diagnosis

coz I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses

enough r.e.s.p.e.c.t, respect himself express, no stress

remark is easy just believe that all you need is the air that you

breathe (turn around and ask yourself, x 2)


Bbm   Eb Db            B
manchild will you ever win

Bbm   Eb  B                       Db
manchild look at the state you're in

Bbm   Eb  Db                 B
manchild, he won't make you cry

Bbm   Eb  Bbm  Eb  Bbm  Eb            B             Db
manchild, manchild manchild he's the apple of your life

once  bitten, twice shy

[rap2]

why dont you find me again, just take it in, right

and go tell your friends

are you ready for the words, I'll turn the microphone on

a figure of speech to reach you at the back

and so on this style

I'm stimulating dancefloors, raise your body temperature now

and this demands for power in the amps, you know loud's my diagnosis

coz I believe in miracles, words in heavy doses
